SDMB & TucsonMTB Cinco de Mayo party! - 5/10/08
Brian Vance was generous to offer his place for a super-sweet Sweetwater ride and Cinco de Mayo party. In Brian's own words:

Was that fun or what! Great day everyone, proud to be part of such a fun group of people. Food was great, great ride, good looking people all around, a few good jokes, no injuries on the stunts, no fights, and the toilet seat is relatively clean still. Makes for a good day in my book.

We didn't do the pinata, noone got into the tequila, and no nudity though. Maybe next party.

Chuck and Jobie did a good job with the public speaking and gift giving (especially since I won something). I had also meant to mention that we had 4-5 birthday people in the group that day; Happy Birthday to y'all!

Thanks Chuck and family for doing ALL the leg work on this. I like this catering thing, much easier than someone spending their whole time cooking. Thanks to Jobie for helping me carry those logs to build the stunts. I'm also very grateful for Jobie, Tim still being there and Jerry who came back to help break everthing down last night. I was in no shape to do that myself. But I actually feel pretty good today. That mtb riding and clean living pays off!

Sweetwater Map and Description!!!! - 3/10/08
Mark and crew have been working very hard at creating some sweet (pun intended) singletrack to the West. The Sweetwater trails still aren't complete but there is already enough out there to have a lot of fun.

Some notes of caution:

  • This is a new trail system, and some of the more recently constructed trails will be loose, so be prepared for sketchy traction.
  • Not all of the people who live around the park are thrilled to see trails opened up there. Please ride responsibly and follow trail etiquette.
  • If you ride in a large group, try to break into smaller groups of 5-8 people so as not to overwhelm other trail users.

Here is a Map and Description PDF. (Temporarily unavailable)
January Meeting - 1/16/08
What a great way to start off the year for SDMB! We had 30 people show up to listen to our guest speaker, Sergio Avila of the Sky Island Alliance group, talk about mountain lions and their territory. It was fun and informative.

Keep an eye on the Calendar for February's meeting, location TBA.
